A documentary on the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution doesn’t get more urgent than right now, when not two weeks ago the Supreme Court struck down an executive order from President Trump that would’ve ended birthright citizenship for children who are born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily. It’s fitting then that Ava DuVernay, who has some experience tackling the history of another Constitutional amendment, would be the one to grapple with this moment. DuVernay is returning to Netflix, and to documentary filmmaking, with “14th,” a follow-up to her Oscar-nominated documentary “13th” from 10 years ago about the prison system in America. Her new film, which Netflix announced today and will debut on the streamer later this year, aims to bring the fight that has raged over this amendment for the last 150 years into the present. In the film, DuVernay speaks with scholars,

Christopher Nolan’s epic was given five stars by the Guardian, Independent and Telegraph, while the New York Times called it a ‘monumental adaptation’ Christopher Nolan’s $250m Imax blockbuster version of Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey looks set to be among the director’s best-received of his career, and could be a frontrunner for next year’s best picture Oscar. The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw was among the vast majority of critics who awarded it five stars, calling it a film “with thrilling ambition, boldness, seriousness, generosity and flair. There are some broad-brush moments in the dialogue, yes, but even these are applied with a muscular flourish.” Continue reading.

Fornite players can play as Matt Damon’s Odysseus from Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” Epic Games announced. Earlier this week, the company teased a short clip on its official X account showing Odysseus walking through a massive hallway lined with towering statues, captioned with the line “some say each game is an epic journey of its own.” Players will be able to compete in the Solo Odyssey Cup in Battle Royale and Zero Build; top performers will receive the Odysseus Outfit. The Cup challenge ends on July 16. Odysseus is designed to reflect Damon’s portrayal of the character from Christopher Nolan’s film.

The film-maker behind Selma and 13th will focus on the 14th amendment for a new film out later this year as Donald Trump targets those protected by it Ava DuVernay announced on Thursday that she has made a documentary for Netflix on the 14th amendment, which gave liberty and rights to formerly enslaved people following the civil war, and has come under legal attack from Donald Trump. Netflix said on Thursday that it will release 14th later this year. The film will mark a return to nonfiction for DuVernay, the film-maker of Selma and Origin, and a follow-up to DuVernay’s 2016 film 13th, her examination of the legacy of the 13th amendment,

When casting director Nancy Nayor was young, her parents were puzzled by her entertainment choices. “I would race home after school and become glued to the television watching ‘Outer Limits,’ ‘Twilight Zone,’ ‘Dark Shadows‘ and all sorts of genre films,” Nayor told IndieWire. “I was such a horror geek, and my parents just couldn’t figure me out. It wasn’t what they expected.” Nayor eventually turned her obsession into a career, casting some of the most important genre films of the last 40 years. From giving Liam Neeson his big break in Sam Raimi’s “Darkman” and finding the right actors for the American remake of “The Grudge” to casting “Barbarian,” “Companion,” and Raimi’s recent return to form, “Send Help,” Nayor has been a key creative force on dozens of horror hits. Nayor was running the casting department at Universal in the mid-1980s when she worked on her first horror movie,
